Real-time moving platform management system
First Claim
1. A method, comprising the steps of:
- with the aid of a moving platform system on a moving platform;
capturing sensor data from a sensor in the moving platform system and positional data for the sensor data;
saving the sensor data and positional data for the sensor data to one or more directories of one or more computer readable medium, wherein the positional data saved in the one or more directories is at least one of raw and geo-referenced using elevation data;
transmitting the sensor data and positional data for the sensor data from the moving platform system to a ground station system through a non-line of sight communication link in real-time; and
establishing a wireless communication link between the moving platform system and the ground station system based on the ground station system generating a sequence of past time-based position data for the moving platform system from the positional data for the sensor data, the past time-based position data indicative of positions of the moving platform system at times the sensor data were captured, to predict a new location of the moving platform system based on the past time-based position data.

Abstract
The present disclosure describes a method for transmitting sensor data and positional data for geo-referencing oblique images from a moving platform to a ground station system in real-time. The method involves the aid of a moving platform system to capture sensor data and positional data for the sensor data, save the sensor data and positional data to one or more directories of one or more computer readable medium, monitor the one or more directories of the one or more computer readable medium for sensor data and positional data, and transmit the sensor data and positional data from the moving platform system to the ground station system over a wireless communication link responsive to the sensor data and positional data being detected as within the one or more directories.

9. A method, comprising the steps of:
with the aid of a moving platform system and occurring on a moving platform; capturing sensor data from a sensor in the moving platform system and positional data for the sensor data; saving the sensor data and positional data for the sensor data to one or more directories of one or more computer readable medium, wherein the positional data saved in the one or more directories is at least one of raw and geo-referenced using elevation data; transmitting the sensor data and positional data for the sensor data from the moving platform system to a ground station system through a non-line of sight communication link in real-time; and establishing a wireless communication link between the moving platform system and the ground station system based on the ground station system generating a sequence of past time-based position data for the moving platform system from at least a portion of the positional data for the sensor data, the past time-based position data indicative of positions of the moving platform system at times the sensor data were captured, to predict a new location of the moving platform system based on the past time-based position data. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 15, 16)

12. A system, comprising:
-
an unmanned airplane having a moving platform system, the moving platform system comprising; one or more sensors including one or more camera; a position system structured to monitor a location of the unmanned airplane; a non-line-of-sight communication system; a computer system having one or more non-transitory computer readable medium storing computer executable instructions which when executed by the computer system cause the computer system to; receive data from the one or more sensors and the position system; transmit, through the non-line-of-sight communication system, the data from the one or more sensors and the position system to a ground station system located on the ground; and set up a wireless communication link between the moving platform system on the unmanned airplane while airborne and the ground station system based on the ground station system generating a sequence of past time-based position data from at least a portion of positional data from the position system received through the non-line-of-sight communication system indicative of past positions of the moving platform system to predict a new location of the moving platform system based on the past time-based position data, wherein the positional data is at least one of raw and geo-referenced using elevation data. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)
